Lovin Life

Emmie is growing, Sawyer is funny and life is busy! I love every second of every minute of every day (except for the moments when pure exhaustion set in, ha!) Sawyer and Emmie are amazing creations of God and I feel so blessed to be their mommy. Every day I am blown away by them. I could literally sit and stare at them all day long! Sawyer is getting skinnier with every inch taller he grows. Emmie is starting to fill out and develop some cute chubby cheeks and thighs. Sawyer finished Soccer and is almost finished with T-Ball. I was surprised to find out that he enjoys T-Ball much much more than soccer. In the last couple of games he has shown a lot of improvement (mostly in the area of paying attention and not dancing in the outfield, ha!) He continues to make us laugh and smile with the things that he says. I think my next post will be a listing of some of these funny things because I just don't want to forget them.
Emmie is rolling all over the place and her smile lights up the room! She just got over her first illness, but survived it like a trooper! I am predicting that she is going to be a fun loving, easy going, happy, independant child! (quite unlike her brother) She is not much of a snuggler, but all you have to do is look at her and she looks back at you with the biggest cutest gummy grin! We fed her rice cereal the other day and she absolutely loved it! It only took her a couple of bites to know what to do with it and then she took the spoon from me and started licking it!
Sawyer has loved swimming this summer and is getting a lot braver with playing and jumping in the water by himself. Emmie got in the lake for the first time this weekend and she smiled and laughed the whole time. They both love Papa's new pontoon and I predict a lot of fun times ahead on that boat.
One of our favorite things to do this summer is take Sawyer to Silver Dollar City. He LOVES everything about it and it is a real treat for him. He will ride any ride that he is tall enough to ride and I love watching his face full of excitement when we get on each one.
Let's be honest, I just love my kids. I love everything about them. Even when my patience starts to run thin I just take a deep breath and try to remember that I will miss each and every moment of their childhood one day, even the frustrating times.

On another note, I am absolutely thrilled with my new job. I don't even like to use the term "job" because it doesn't feel like that to me. It is a true blessing from the Lord and I can't wait to see the amazing things that come from this new journey I am on.

Until next time...enjoy summer! :)
